Abstract

We generated the complete chloroplast genome sequence of Sinomenium acutum, a species of the Menispermaceae family, and characterized from the de novo assembly of Illumina HiSeq paired-end sequencing data. The total length of the chloroplast genome of S. acutum was 162,787 bp with a large single-copy (LSC) region of 91,430 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 21,245 bp, and a pair of identical inverted repeat regions (IRs) of 25,056 bp. The total of 131 genes were annotated in the chloroplast genome of Sinomenium acutum, including 85 protein-coding genes, 38 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and 8 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. The phylogenetic analysis of S. acutum with 18 related species revealed the closest taxonomical relationship with Menispermum dauricum in the Menispermaceae family.

Keywords: Sinomenium acutum; complete chloroplast genome; next generation sequencing; phylogenetic tree.
